June 12, 1863, Corinth Chanticleer (Corinth, Ms)
A female, apparently very ill, was relieved by a family in Chicago, a few days since, and in accounting for her appearance in that city, stated that her name was Anna Lilleybridge of Detroit, and that her parents reside in Hamilton, C. W. She became attached to a Lieutenant of the twenty-first Michigan regiment, and donning male attire, enlisted in the regiment.–At the battle of Pea Ridge her sex was discovered, but the only individual possessed of the knowledge was killed the next day. She continued to serve in the regiment until one of her arms became useless from a severe wound, when she was discharged, notwithstanding her earnest entreaty to be permitted to remain in the service.–The most singular part of the story is, that the lieutenant, through love of whom she was induced to undergo so much danger, never knew of her connection with the regiment.
